@jupiter_rowland This sounds reasonable, and as if it would benefit more than just the visually impaired. Describing images as you see them, and adding information that is barely visible or not visible because of compression, goes beyond “pure” accessibility. It’s about context, and if you’re willing to put the time into it, I think it’s a good thing.

As for your special series of images: Do what feels right. After all, alt text is there to help people understand what you want to show.

@jupiter_rowland When you say it’s not important for the context, to me that means it’s not important for understanding the image at all. If someone wanted to know, for whatever reason, they could still ask you, couldn’t they?
